ControlSpace
®
ESP-88
Engineered Sound Processor
Product Overview
A powerful digital signal processor that
provides control and audio processing in a
single, expandable unit. The system integrates
easily with popular facility control devices and
IT systems, and features simple and elegant user
interfaces that provide operation for a variety of
system applications.
The ControlSpace
®
ESP-88 system provides a
comprehensive and expandable DSP solution. It
ships as an eight-input and eight line-level output
system and is expandable to 64 audio channels.
Recent Enhancements
• Automatic microphone mixing providing
gating, priority and NOM attenuation for
sound reinforcement systems using multiple
active microphone inputs.
• Optional surround sound expansion card,
which decodes Dolby
®
Digital, DTS
®
and PCM
audio formats, eliminating the need for an
external decoder, and integrating all the audio
processing within the ESP-88.
• Expanded Serial Protocol to enable the
ControlSpace system to work with popular
third-party control devices.
Product Information
The ControlSpace ESP-88 engineered sound
processor has a complete set of audio-processing
algorithms, a flexible signal path and expandable
card architecture that make it an excellent solution
for most engineered sound applications.
For larger applications, optional audio expansion
cards can be added, and an optional DSP expansion
car
d can incr
ease processor power and delay
memory by 4x. Multiple ESP-88 processors can
be utilized.
The ControlSpace ESP-88 processor supports
multiple choices of user control interfaces,
including the ControlSpace CC-4 room controller,
CC-16 zone controller and CC-64 control center.
The Contr
olSpace Designer™ softwar
e (included)
is used to configure the ControlSpace ESP-88
pr
ocessor and the user interfaces. The Smart
Simulation pr
ogramming
allows immediate
testing of the functionality to verify all contr
ol
programming. The software runs on a PC and
communicates with the system over Ether
net.
